SO I use nGlide for pretty much all 3dfx games and even some older opnegl games. It works great, but I am fairly confused by how Integer scaling and rendering work. As far as i can tell there is no difference, and I was under the impression i could use a smaller in game resolution and the game would be scaled up via integers thus making things like small HUDs fixed, but when I use it the lower the resolution the smaller the picture is. I looked at the Zeus forums and could not find any info.

Intger scaling and integer rendering means it scales by the highest integer (whole number) factor.

640x480 for example, can be multiplied by 2 on both axis to be 1280x960, which fits in a 1920x1080 monitor. If you multiple by 3 (1920x1440) it will no longer fit in a 1920x1080 monitor.

800x600 and above can't be integer scaled/rendered at all on a 1920x1080 monitor, so they'll just be output as they are.

I honestly feel dumb now as i know this and it never occurred to me to do the math.
